The reputed Gambino associate was hit with the perv charge last month in Queens Criminal Court, and at the time of his arrest "was out on bail and awaiting trial on unrelated racketeering and gambling charges in federal court." According to federal prosecutors Wehnert "is a longtime member of a mob crew headed by Gambino captain Bartolomeo Vernace, who also sits on the crime family’s ruling panel."

Wehnert maintains his innocence on the molestation charge, and was released on $25,000 bail.
